The Location

The conference will take place in the city of San SebastiŠn or Donostia, a vibrant city presiding over the beautiful Bay of Biscay in the North of Spain, near the border with France. Donostia is an important city of commerce and tourism in the heartlands of the Basques and is proud of its Basque traditions and language. The city may be more familiar to the outside world through its Spanish name, San SebastiŠn, site of the famous annual San SebastiŠn International Film Festival. The agreeable climate and the scenic views have long proved a draw for many visitors, from ordinary families to international film stars. In recognition of this, the city has been selected as European Capital of Culture for 2016 (jointly with Wroclaw, Poland).
